Welcome to the

Canada Centre for Immigrant Women in STEM!

Immigrant women in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) represent 52% of Canada’s women-in-STEM workforce. Despite their world-class experience and expertise, this high-potential and powerful talent pool faces the worst outcomes when it comes to unemployment, underemployment, and wage gap in Canada. We believe that improving economic equity for immigrant women in STEM will improve economic outcomes for all women in STEM.

Catalyst is a career development program designed for high-potential women in STEM and business

Catalyst helps women grow in their roles and maximize their potential - for themselves and their employer.

Over three half-days, women learn how to transform within their role and put their career on a growth path.

If you’re feeling stuck and want to be in the driver’s seat to turn your ambition into high performance, there is no better time to join the Catalyst community!
